That's interesting. We've never used them for real internet applications,
but we used to use them quite a bit for intranet applications, and were very
successful in that regard. For example, we deployed an application where
there were several thousand clients, all using Netscape 3 or 4, and no one
reported that as a problem.
However, I'd agree that they're not suitable for non-controlled
environments, as people might not have Java enabled, or might not have
virtual machines, or might have a Java-killing firewall setup.
